VS. ARIZONA

Saturday, 10 a.m., Pauley Pavilion, TV: CBS

Three straight victories do not mean the Bruins got to celebrate on New Year’s Eve. Coach Ben Howland vowed to keep his players in, wanting them rested and ready for Arizona. The Wildcats feature veteran guard Nic Wise and a trio of talented freshmen in Derrick Williams, Solomon Hill and Lamont Jones.
